Sandy & Papo

Sandy & Papo MC, Sandy MC & MC Papo or simply Sandy & Papo, was a duo of merengue house and hip-hop, with temporary residence in Venezuela. It was made by Sandy Carriello "Sandy MC" and Luis Deschamps "MC Papo", both from the Dominican Republic. The duo was created by Nelson Zapata and Pavel de Jesus, after attending an audition for Proyecto Uno.

The group was part of the merenhouse/house-merengue/merengue-hip hop rhythm movement that emerged in New York. The pair fused that with Dominican merengue and other dance genres. Groups such as Proyecto Uno, Fulanito, Ilegales & El Cartel were part of this movement.

Sandy MC & MC Papo performed a version of the popular house El Mueve Mueve (I Like To Move It). They created the song Huelepega which served to promote the Venezuelan film of the same name, directed by Elia Schneider.

The group came to an end when on July 11, 1999 Luis Deschamps (MC Papo) died in a car accident. Sandy MC continued as a solo and received success with the song Homenaje a Papo. As of 2011 Sandy MC has been working on a new album.

Remix album

A remix album is an album consisting mostly of remixes or re-recorded versions of a music artists' earlier released material.

History

1970s

One of the earliest remix albums was 1971's Aerial Pandemonium Ballet by Harry Nilsson, which was released by Nilsson after the successes of "Everybody's Talkin'" and The Point!, after he decided that his older material had started to sound dated. One of the earliest remix albums in jazz music had been John Coltrane's Infinity, which was released in 1972, and may have been one of the earliest posthumous remix albums for any artist in the music industry, as well as one of the earliest remix albums ever recorded in general, regardless of music category and despite the criticism Coltrane's widow Alice got for changing the orchestral backgrounds and rhythm sections along with creating new solos for piano, organ, harp and timpani.

Miles Davis, whom Coltrane once performed with, recorded his own remix album called Evolution of the Groove, and though it was also released as a posthumous album like Infinity, it had to wait until 2007. The best-selling remix album of all time is Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix by Michael Jackson, released by MJJ Productions Inc in 1997 Followed Very close by Madonna's You Can Dance remix album which was the best-selling remix album of all time until 1997. Sly & The Family Stone's 1979 release 10 Years Too Soon featured disco remixes of the 1960s Family Stone hits.
